Rev. Dr. Kenneth Meshoe scolds the Palestinians and their left wing supporters. “On my recent trip to San Francisco says Meshoe, I was deeply disturbed to learn of the posters accusing Israel of apartheid. As a black South African who lived under apartheid, this system was implemented in South Africa to subjugate people of color and deny them a variety of their rights. In my view, Israel cannot be compared to apartheid in South Africa. Those who make this accusation expose their ignorance of what apartheid really is.”

SF Examiner(h/t Tundra Tabloids)“I believe that it is slanderous and deceptive for Israel’s self-defense measures against the terrorists’ campaign of suicide bombing, rocket attacks and other acts of terrorism that have occurred, and continue to occur, to be labeled as apartheid. I am shocked by the claim that the free, diverse, democratic state of Israel practices apartheid. This ridiculous accusation trivializes the word apartheid, minimizing and belittling the magnitude of the racism and suffering endured by South Africans of color.”

“The misapplication of the term apartheid makes a mockery of a grievous injustice and threatens to undermine the true meaning of the term. In my view, Israel is a model of democracy, inclusion and pluralism that can be emulated by many nations, particularly in the Middle East.”

Apartheid in Israel? This is a real double-standard. A Jew cannot enter Saudi Arabia, unless a high ranking official grants an exemption. Women cannot drive in Saudi Arabia. Under the Jordanian constitution, Jews cannot be Jordanian citizens.

Saudi Arabian citizens are required by law to be Muslims and will be executed if they either leave Islam for freethought, or convert to another religion. Israel rightfully prosecuted Mordecai Vanunu, for endangering Israel’s national security with his treason, but absolutely not because he converted to Christianity.

Of course, Israel is not perfect. But Israel allows it’s citizens freedom of speech and freedom of the press and media. Israeli citizens can and do openly speak out against whatever is wrong within Israel’s borders. Christian, Muslim, and non-Jewish citizens have equal rights under Israeli law. Israeli Arabs serve in the Knesset.

The Israel haters, many of them Jewish themselves, sure do a good job of letting the Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and the surrounding Arab countries off the hook!

Israel has never been an apartheid state. It is good to hear Kenneth challenge the feral lefties on this issue. Regrettably the racist ANC has implemented BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) legislation that is far worse than what white South Africans put in place under apartheid.

It always amazes me how the hard left ideologues and their Islamist conhorts label Israel nasty names when in reality the Muslims and Socialists are the most vile bigots and racists known.

Apartheid is alive all over the muslim “world”. Plus, muslims practice brutal apartheid against all their women, keeping them locked in the house, denied education, dressed in slave rags, sexually castrated

Just as left wing fascists have completely devalued the word ‘racist’ to the point where it is now meaningless and will solicit nothing more than an eye roll from an intelligent person, they go about doing the same to ‘apartheid’.
